Answer 1

I'm going to school to be a nurse and I also have plenty of information about genital warts. They can be visible or they can be so small that you don't know that they are there. Most of the time they are visible though. They can take on many forms and when one is just starting out it can look like a small pimple. There won't be a white head though, just a bump. Genital warts or HPV can be spread through wet towels that are shared with someone that has genital warts, or from other parts of the body. No sex is really needed for this. If it doesn't go away though he should go see a doctor to make sure.

Genital warts, also known as condylomata acuminata or venereal warts, are one of the most common types of sexually transmitted diseases. As the name suggests, genital warts affect the moist tissues of the genital area. They may look like small, flesh-colored bumps or have a cauliflower-like appearance. Genital warts may be as small as 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter — smaller than the width of a ballpoint pen refill — or may multiply into large clusters.

In men, they may be found on the tip or shaft of the penis, the scrotum or the anus. They can also develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected person.

Possibilities:

1. Genital Warts
2. Molluscum
3. Skin Tags
4. Pimple
5. Wart (not genital, just a wart that "happens" to be on the genitals.

I say wait a week to two weeks. If it doesn't clear up by then, see a dermatologist who can give the final ruling.

I understand the pain he must have, it can be very confusing and worrisome!!

Answer 3

It could be just a pimple, genital warts look something like skin tags, only larger.
